Wellbeing for Lawyers - Third Annual Conference

Following the huge success of our two previous UK conferences on Lawyer Wellbeing and our National Lawyer Wellbeing Conference in the USA, this very practical online full-day Annual Conference will be chaired by barrister and coach James Pereira QC who is supported by a high level panel of speakers drawn from a wide range of backgrounds.

It will appeal to all those within law firms, barristers chambers and in-house legal and HR departments who "get" both the importance of managing wellbeing in their working environment, and how developing and applying the principles of wellbeing are not only inextricably linked to profitability and productivity, but also with attracting and retaining the very best people.

Delegates will take away with them an insight into the latest thinking on wellbeing in practice together with the tools they need to drive forward the development and enhancement of their own organisation's wellbeing policies and strategies. One of the most powerful ingredients of the previous conferences has been the speakers sharing their own personal stories but this conference is not just about identifying the problems, its also about advocating better working practices and presenting effective solutions

This online conference will be streamed live, direct to your desktop, tablet or smart phone anywhere in the world, so you can watch it from your office or home. You can participate in the conference live or watch the recorded version whenever you want. In each case you will receive a recording of the complete conference after the event.

The price for this is £290 + VAT. This is a per organisation price, so up to 19 of your colleagues can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So, of course, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £29.00.

For law firms with four or less partners or individuals, you can purchase a single place at the conference for £139 + VAT

This important event is organised by The Legal Training Consultancy for The Wellbeing Work Alliance, which is a focal point in relation to all aspects of wellbeing for lawyers.

Important Notes about Booking

1. If you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can lose all the information you inputted. Alternatively you can book your first delegate and send the names, job titles and email addresses of the additional delegates to us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk

2. Payment can be made by credit or debit card or alternatively by invoice. The option to pay by invoice is below the pay by card option in the booking form

3. If you have more than 20 delegates then extra delegates are £20 each. Contact us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk to arrange this

4. If you don't have the complete list of who will be attending you can book for those that you know will be attending and add the others at a later date

5. If you would like to submit questions in advance to the speakers please send them to info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
